Skipper set for Latics return

07 March 2011 13:30
Oldham boss Paul Dickov could be boosted by the return of skipper Reuben Hazell for the home clash with Sheffield Wednesday. The defender has missed the last two matches due to a back injury but has returned to light training and may come into contention to face the Owls. Midfielder Dean Furman was set to return after a two-match ban but his hopes may have been dashed after he was struck down by illness. Furman will be assessed by medical staff before a decision is made on his availability as the Latics bid to bounce back from Saturday's 3-0 defeat at Bournemouth. Dickov's men now lie nine points adrift of the top six but the former Manchester City striker said: "I believe we're still very much in the mix for a place in the play-offs."
